Why am I posting this? Well, because just maybe I'm working on a secret biped MechWarrior robot with rocket launchers and airsoft cannons and will upload all designs and Axon code . . . just maybe Wink

. . . are you serious? i can imagine a brat chassis with two airsoft guns mounted on the arms

Speaking of bipeds, it seems that you don't need all those expensive powerfull servos to build one. Of course, size matters. But someone called Ayu was able to pull it off using only 9 gram servos and custom made brackets from aluminum sheet. He also replicated the Robonova controller, how cool is that? So, if you really want to build a small biped and you have about $65 for the 17 servos, you'se set!

Edit: the robot's weight is 420g and the servos weigh 323g!!! that means all the metal and controller weigh less than a hundred grams!

I had trouble believing it worked due to lack of video . . .

But I did some math, and it turns out that it can lift itself using just one leg. So it can probably jump using both legs . . .

(wait a minute, it isn't a mech?!)

Sorry to say, last night I made a mistake. The servos are 9 grams each, so 17 servos makes 153g... Why I typed 323? Because that is the weigh for the 17 servos package if you order them from HobbyCity... I guess I was too tired to think clearly... So the weight of the electronics and metal is 267g, more realistic this time. And of course, there is no battery on the robot at this time, altho LiPos can be added in the soles of the feet.

About the video. The IS a video in the first post from that link (Robosavvy forum) showing the robot doing a balance on one leg (I hope that is the proper description of the pose) so yeah, it works.

(and if you dress it nicelly in an armour, it will look more like a mech...)

I love mechwarrior and even old school battletech from back in the day. I saw some of your posts about you tiny little terror your designing for mech warfare on some other forums I want to build one as well but thats a lot of expense for a robot like that. I'll start counting my pennies or something

hehe and I can finally play mechwarrior 4 plus the expansion pack because I still have the expansion but someone "borrowed" my mechwarrior 4 disks so I never got to finish the game.
